Chalcedon Maurice William is one of the many descendants of the William family, the most powerful family in this land.
This was clearly etched in Morris' mind as a child when he first learned to speak.
Although he was just the result of William Sr., Maurice's father, "doing business" with a maid after getting drunk.
Since little Morris was born, he has never seen his biological mother again. Instead, there is a serious-looking, unsmiling middle-aged woman who is responsible for taking care of little Morris's daily life and upbringing and manners.
It was not until an accident occurred when Morris became an adult that he realized that the middle-aged woman who had been taking care of him was not his mother.
It was precisely because of his request to meet his biological mother that he finally made the request to his biological father. The words of the other party made the carefree little Maurice seem to have grown up a lot overnight.
.
It was just a simple sentence, but Morris always remembered it clearly.
"Mother? Huh! Who do you think you are? You don't think you are my son, do you? You are just one of the substitutes for the next heir of the William family." After saying this, he was only fourteen years old at the time.
Maurice was kicked and kicked out of his father's room.
That was the first time he heard the term "heir".
From then on, Maurice seemed to be a completely different person. He was no longer as lively and active as before, and his whole person became gloomy.
What he didn't understand was that the man was obviously his biological father, and he just made a small request, no matter how insignificant it was. The father who had been taught to respect and care for him since childhood not only rejected him mercilessly, but even made a mockery of him.
Wishful thinking of oneself.
Morris thought of the look in the eyes of the man called father when he was feeding the family's nursing dog, and then thought of the look in his eyes when he looked at him. The young Morris came to a conclusion.
In front of this man named William, I may not be as precious as a dog.
And after three days and three nights of thinking, he came to another conclusion.
The reason for all this is because of the heir of that family. In that case, wouldn't it be great if I became the heir?
At the time, he didn't think about how ridiculous this idea was.
So from then on, Morris soaked in the family hall of glory, tirelessly studying the past deeds of the William family, which made him discover that this huge family began to inevitably decline from a certain point on.
, and this situation continues!
This aroused Morris' curiosity, so after many comparisons and inquiries, he finally discovered an astonishing fact:
This ancient family, which has been inherited for more than a thousand years, has never married with a foreign family since a certain marriage failed.
In other words, since then, the family inheritance has always been "internal digestion"!
Although most people now know what consanguineous marriage means, how would the William family know this? On the contrary, they also believe that this can make their bloodline purer and the family become stronger.
It wasn't until the last head of the family, Maurice's grandfather, came to power that something was wrong.
Since the information was not complete, Morris did not know what his grandfather had discovered. Anyway, some changes had taken place in the William family since him.
Although marriage with foreign races is still prohibited, this does not mean that one cannot "save seeds", right?
So starting with old William as the representative, the ancient William family seemed to be full of vitality, gradually spreading its branches and leaves, giving birth to many heirs, but these heirs all have one common characteristic:
I have never met my biological mother at all.
"Wait." Li Yi impatiently interrupted Xie Wu's ramblings.
"What does this have to do with you? Hasn't Maurice been eaten by you a long time ago? Are you so kind?"
"Hmph!" The statue, which was no different from a living person, snorted coldly: "Since I call myself a god, I naturally have my reasons. He was not eaten by me, but willingly dedicated his body to me to satisfy the believers' needs.
My wish is what I, as a god, must fulfill, otherwise, why do you think I can hear the call of believers in a cage?"
"Evil Things" continued to talk endlessly, but Li Yi did not interrupt and let him continue because he could see it.
This extremely cunning guy is stalling for time!
No longer paying attention to the other party's nagging, Li Yi slowly drew out the silver sword, and his aura gradually became fierce.
Hold the sword in one hand, take a big step forward, and raise your hand, which is the starting position of "Sword Art of Sacrificing Yourself and Returning Together".
when!
With the grade of the silver sword, it could only leave a shallow gash on the evil object's body, which made Li Yi feel a little surprised.
"Humph! This weapon of yours looks flashy, and it doesn't even have a demon-forbidden seal. You still want to fight me?" He laughed ferociously and started to pounce on Li Yi.
Demon-forbidden seal? It can't be... Thinking of this, Li Yi suddenly remembered the butler who had been forgotten after being knocked out by him with one punch not long ago, and his extremely powerful double-barreled shotgun.
Fortunately, although the evil creature was thick-skinned and not afraid of swords, it was not very flexible, so Li Yi was able to easily pick up the double-barreled shotgun.
[Get a magic hunting weapon!]
[This weapon was carefully crafted by demon hunters of all generations. It was specially made for hunting demons. Due to its high price and extremely powerful power, very few have been circulated. This weapon was specially made for ordinary people to use and can effectively kill demons.
It is a vassal of demons and has no effect on humans.】
What a great thing! After reading the description, Li Yi's eyes suddenly lit up. It can effectively kill demons, but is ineffective against humans. It can also be used by ordinary people. It is simply a magical weapon!
However, when he saw the ammunition consumption, he immediately stopped laughing.
Seeing that the demon was about to pounce, he still hesitated for a moment and raised the magic hunting weapon, but did not fire it.
"Stop! Otherwise I will shoot!"
Originally it was just a try, but if it didn't work, I had to shoot. Who would have thought that when the descending demon saw the densely carved patterns on the barrel and the familiar aura remaining on the barrel, he actually raised his hands and surrendered obediently.
Not only that, he also begged for mercy.
"Don't shoot...I surrender."
This unexpected development even stunned the instigator Li Yi for a while.
This...is this surrender?
Well, although he surrendered, Li Yi thought about it and decided to take the pain and shoot.
boom!
After a huge gunshot, the newly formed demon clan was instantly blasted to pieces. Following a piercing scream, the blood-colored mist that filled the room instantly disappeared, and even the remaining traces of blood disappeared.
It was as if it had never happened before, without a trace, leaving only a handful of lonely skeletons scattered on the ground, and a mummy next to it that had completely lost its color.
Although the target was solved, Li Yi didn't care. He looked at the magic-sealing weapon in his hand with a heartbroken expression and muttered to himself.
"Oh my god, one gun and one car, who can afford this thing!" At the same time, he glanced at the mummified butler.
Prodigal! Can't you leave an extra hair for me? It's even missed!
He never thought at all that the shot was clearly aimed at him.
[The mission is completed! The invading demons have been successfully eliminated, a magic sealing weapon has been obtained, and the remaining ammunition is 1/6]
[The subsequent task has been updated: wake up the guests downstairs]
By the way, Li Yi finally remembered at this time that he had left the Hungry Ghost Path in the main hall.
At this point, things were over, I looked around, took out a Morris's diary from the drawer, put it into my dimensional backpack, and walked out.
When he got downstairs, the scene in front of him opened Li Yi's eyes.
The guests who looked aristocratic before leaving have now turned into hungry ghosts. They ate all the food on the table and stuffed small decorative items such as candles and spoons into their mouths. .
What's more, when he saw that he couldn't find anything to eat, his eyes glowed green and he started to look at the people around him.
If he had arrived a few minutes later, those weak female guests in the hall would probably be the first to suffer.
Seeing something bad, Li Yi took a big step forward, pushed aside the chaotic crowd, and put the (incomplete) Hungry Ghost Dao into his dimensional backpack.
Gradually, the guests present regained their consciousness and stared blankly at everything they had caused. However, they had no idea that their group had almost become a part of the blood stain ceremony.
[The mission has been completed, Chapter 2 has been completed, and the rewards are being calculated...]
call......
Li Yi took a deep breath and looked indifferently at the chaotic banquet hall in front of him.
It turned out that long before he followed Morris's master and servant, he had kept an eye on it, thinking that the other party would not hold a banquet for no reason, so with the idea of creating chaos if there was no chaos, and the chaos would be bigger if there was chaos, he would be hungry. Kidou (broken) was placed under the banquet table.
As a result, what he didn't expect was that his approach not only delayed the arrival of the demons, but also greatly reduced the effectiveness of the blood sacrifice ceremony originally planned by Morris.
This was something he only learned after browsing the diary left by Morris.
The real blood sacrifice ceremony is far from that simple!
